Waiting on a new unit, when you only have one, and it's looking more
and more like a beater, can be rough. I thought maybe we could offer
some tips for keeping you looking on pointe while you wait.
I'll start:
If
you can afford it, have a spare unit on hand , and rotate the units.
This will prolong the life of both units, and not leave you in a lurch
when it's time to order a new one.However, there are some of us, I'm
sure, who don't have this option. LF's are expensive, but you shouldn't
have to have disposable income to look good.
These tips are for those who don't have the option of spending a grand on their hair, all at once.
If
there are any ladies who've had to improvise until a unit arrives,
there's no shame in getting as much mileage out of a unit as they can.
Any tips you might have on acheiving this end, please take the time to
post them here.
My contribution:
Try and keep some good quality BSS hair on hand for when you end up waiting for a unit, or to stretch out wear time.
I'm
waiting on a unit right now, and my curly hair was looking a little
thin, so I went and got some good quality deep wave--not wet and wavy-
texturized the ends, and added a couple tracks, and voila. It looks
awesome again, and I can breathe a little easier, until the new one
arrives.

I have worn regular wigs for years. So I think it is a great idea to always have a some regular non LF wigs around to throw on your head, they do not have to be the same style and length as your LF wig, u can wear them in varying lengths, styles and colors- so that a regular wig will not only get u over in case of an emergency, but it will also allow u to change up your style and try something different every once in a while. Just be careful with synthetic hair because if u sweat in it to much, especially in the nape it will start to get hard and nappy.
